Sucrose (cane sugar) does not react with Benedict’s solution.
Sucrose molecules consist of a pair of molecules joined together.
Sucrose can be split into two smaller molecules by the process of hydrolysis.
Each of these smaller molecules will react with Benedict’s solution.
Hydrolysis can be carried out by heating a solution of sucrose with dilute hydrochloric acid.
An enzyme will also carry out the hydrolysis, at a lower temperature.
Benedict’s solution can react only in alkaline solution.
Sodium hydrogencarbonate can be used to neutralise dilute hydrochloric acid.
You are provided with a solution that contains only sucrose.
(a) Using the above information and your own experience of food testing, describe and
explain how you would demonstrate that the solution contained sucrose but did not
initially contain glucose. Practical details should be given. Use the following headings.
(i)
to show the absence of glucose in the original solution

(b) • Both sucrose and glucose are good sources of energy.
• The enzyme that digests sucrose is found in the small intestine.
• There is no enzyme for the digestion of glucose.
What do these facts suggest about the absorption of molecules of these two
compounds from the intestine?

• The apparatus shown in Fig. 2.1 is used for collecting animals that live in leaf litter.
• The apparatus shown in Fig. 2.2 is used for collecting animals that live on the leaves of a
tree. When the branches are beaten with a stick, the animals fall on to a sheet held
underneath. The pooter is then used to collect the smaller specimens by sucking them up
into the apparatus.
(a) (i)
What is the purpose of the metal gauze shown in Fig. 2.1?
...............................................................................................................................[1]
(ii)
What is the purpose of the muslin gauze shown in Fig. 2.2?
...............................................................................................................................[1]
(b) (i)
Name two stimuli to which the animals may have responded in Fig. 2.1.
1. ...............................................................................................................................
2. ...........................................................................................................................[2]
(ii)
Suggest two ways in which these responses by the animals might be of benefit to
them in their normal way of life in the leaf litter.
1. ...............................................................................................................................
2. ...........................................................................................................................[2]
(iii)
Suggest two advantages of collecting animals with the pooter, rather than picking
them up with forceps.

(iv)
Suggest how the animals collected in the pooter could be slowed down, without
being harmed, so that they could be removed for study and then released.
